The AKM in Delta Force is a modernized version of the AK rifle, available for the Assault Class. It boasts 26 damage with a 600 rounds per minute fire rate. This translates to a solid 300ms time-to-kill within its effective range of 0-30 meters. However, missing shots increases the time-to-kill by 100ms, so recoil management is crucial. My guide focuses on minimizing horizontal recoil and maximizing stability to make the AKM more manageable and effective in combat.

Wrapping Up & Info About AKM Recoil w/ Loadout
- Close Range (0-50m): Easily manageable with attachments.
- Medium Range (100m): Slight bounce but controllable with proper adjustments.

The AKM can be a highly effective weapon when optimized for recoil control and stability. This loadout prioritizes accuracy and reliability, ensuring consistent performance in close-to-medium range combat. While its slower fire rate punishes missed shots, this build mitigates its weaknesses, turning it into a competitive option!
